Gibbs address to the senate t.-day, ne
made the following refsrerce to the
drouth sufferers: in s. stare r such great
area and of such diversife interests, il
is not 20 be wondered ct that sometimes
one section may be unfortunate for lack
of seas Ons when the other sections are
prosperous. When such condition Of
aff4irs exists 20 such an extent
hs to create absolute want, there
should be provided some means
to relieve it from the abundance Of 9TH

we should suffer the humiliation Of see

appeal to the charity Of the citizers of
other states"

The following was the speech Of

"Gentlemen of the House of Representa-
tives-I thank you sincerely
for the high compliment you have
paid me in selecting me by
your unanimous voice to preside over
your deliberations. l realize fully the
gravity of the trust with which have
been honOfed, ana snail enCeaVor oy
faithful and conscientious attention to
every duty to merit and retain your con-
tdence and esteem. Having but limited
experience as presiding officer l shall
often have occasion to ask the advice and
assistance of those members more
intimate with the rules of par
liamentary procedure than myself, and
at the same time l shall hope to enjoy
the patience and friendly forbearance OF
all. In ny opinion, gentlemen, this will
be one OF the most important legislative
sessions ever held in the state Many
grave problems require attention, and
demand solution. hope and believe that
you will approach them in q spirit
of patriotism, of compromise and
concIliation; and that actuated by
an unselfish desire to promote
the best interests of the
people your deliberations may tend to ad-
vance the welfare OF al the people with
out regard to race or party, and that on
your return to your homes you may de-
serve and receive from your constituents
the commendation due those who have
faithfully discharged their public trust"

writes Abigail GidGigirl. Well, yes,
Abigail. we do think it is wicked for
some people to dance. Now you, for

dance. We saw you dancing one night
last week. Every time you stepped
you showed the s0les of your feet like
senaphore arms. and you kicked like
an Ohio River sterii-wlleel tow-boat !;
yonr bouquet uegan falling To pieces in
the first round; yon fiuned your frizzes
out before 10 O'Clock; rs you hoped
around your hustle had an independ-
ent motion of its own, AS stl,Ough it had
10 connection whatever with the rest
of your custume; you clutched your
partner as though you we've going to
drag hiin to. the station house, and you
handled your fan like billy. Is it
wicked to dance, Abigail? That style
of dancing. is worse than the wicked
